some pics of an old coat with some interesting stamps. one three-digit number stamp to the collar, the other a faint luft uv equipment stamp imo.
one pocket sewn up, the other with simple liner, as per usual.
buttons are mostly the integral wooden ones, one end slightly more pointed than the other. four in all, up the coat front. plus one under the collar. signs of the familiar hook and eye to collar opening still in place.
turned cuffs. several panels, collar fur seems from different source to main body. the mix reflecting the famous german domestic drive for ladies fur coats to be handed in to 'help our boys in the Ost'.
not the best condition, but the dry animal skin problem only at small parts of the wrist. all in all a 'fair' example of a 'been there, done that, got the frost bite' much loved and used rare winter coat, mass produced by the wehrmacht but seldom found today. kept away from the cold winds in a wardrobe for years! but! wearable and perfect for fashion/display shots.
